When I purged the package first it failed because /etc/gconf/2 was not found on
my system and then after I created it it prints:
rmdir: `/etc': Permission denied
when purging. /etc is not removable in my environment thank goodnes.

I did not check if it whould remove /etc if it whould be removable.

No, but see above.

Hmm.. I didn't look to the postrm afterwards. I only did a
echo "#!/bin/sh" > /var/lib/dpkg/info/gconf2.postrm
to remove it completely. But it is strange that the rmdir above give this
message.

Regards
   Klaus
